Sberbank does not engage in mining, but often catches its employees, said the head of the organization German Gref. He told about it at the contest of managers "Leaders of Russia".
Mining requires powerful video cards. Sberbank bought them last year to develop artificial intelligence technology, Gref said. The top manager specified that the cards had a slightly different configuration than required to obtain a crypto currency.
Earlier, Gref said that he does not recommend that Russians use virtual currency because of high risks. The course of bitcoin has changed greatly since the beginning of the year. In late December, the currency was worth twenty thousand dollars. Now bitcoin is trading at around six thousand dollars.
